Custom Gesture Recognition

Alrighth, I got it working. I don’t know what exactly was wrong, but I fixed it.

As you stated in your README you are going to add a tutorial, right?
I would love to have one as I’m still rather new to UE and don’t quite get how everything works.
So, could you give me some hints on how to use it?

My boss told me I could tell you a bit about my project, yay!
I’m developing a sort of playable teaser in VR for the upcoming movie Manou the Swift by LUXX Studios which they are currently workling on fulltime. It is going to be a lot about flying, who could’ve guessed that.
The game is a one man project and I only started getting into Unreal exactly 2 weeks ago so please excuse my newbyness. I did actually put together a rotationbased movement component in less time than I thought it would take me to learn all these nodes in BPs.

I want to make it so that when you have your arms streched out and flap them you also flap your wings ingame and get some extra height to continue gliding. However I do not want the player to set up the gesture himself but for it to be predefined. How should I do this? And should I do this in the level or the pawn blueprint? So far I have the whole movement inside the pawn.

On the ‘record gesture’ node do I need to set one of the controllers as target? Can I mirror the gesture to also use it on the other hand/controller or is the tollerance of the listen function big enough for it to not matter?
I would try and find out myself if I had an idea how to set it up.

I’m sorry if my questions are a bit on the clueless and newby side of things and hope they are not too annoying to read through or answer.

Would love to get some advice!

Hey Investigator,

As it seems you might not have seen it, the current project is under GPL license and will not allow you to use it for anything commercial.
I have an MIT version of the code in development, which you will be able to use for commercial projects, but no ETA as I have to focus on my paid work first.
A one man team for a movie game project? And a beginner in UE4 and VR?
Well at least you’re gonna have a lot of fun!
But you’ll have to teach me how you got that job.

Concerning flying, I worked on such a system for a client and based on this experience, I wouldn’t recommend you to use the gesture recognizer for such behaviors.
It can work, but it’s just not done for it!

You can mirror a recorded gesture, but the how will depend of you and which data you used as input to the gesture.
I’d recommend doing it on the pawn BP directly.
